Nokia & Spike Lee & You team up to create a new movie

Unfortunately it’s into it’s 3 part, but there is still time to participate and collaborate if you would like to be a part of Spike Lee’s next major film.

How do you keep up with all the new trends/tools?

In speaking with a recently acquired colleague (I think I’m going to start elearning trading cards) we were discussing how difficult for us “experts” (if we can loosely call ourselves that) it is to keep up with all the new web tools, elearning trends, latest software, best techniques, etc. I know for myself I’m constantly […]

Building our case for a new LMS (perhaps)

My 300th post is a call for LMS Help

Yippee I’m at my 300th post, but yet again I’m shouting out for some help and of course it’s about the LMS. I have the system we are using, and access to a second system that is on my wish list. I’m having problems loading in classroom based classes. Both systems have features for in […]

Trouble remembering all those “strong” passwords
